Several selections from "Sacred Marriage" by Gary Thomas
 
     "...Martin Luther gave this advice five centuries ago:  'Let the wife make the husband glad to come home and let him make her sorry to see him leave.'  
 
     Women want men who aspire to be

               Kings (even if only at a local level)
               Warriors (protectors who make them feel safe)
               Magicians (men who have, even if in a love of gadgets, some magical power that leads to success)
               Lovers (men who make women part of their quest)
 
Here's a reliable truth about men: we love to laugh and we love women who have a great, spontaneous sense of humor.  Even more we love to see our wives happy.
 
Have you ever considered what you might do to make your husband's life a little more enjoyable?  An overly serious attitude can really suck the joy out of life.  One of the best gifts--and one of the best motivators--you can give your husband is the gift of laughter.  Can your husband find this at home?
 
How might God be using the situations in your life to help you reevaluate yourself, your priorities and your actions?  ...ponder two questions:
                   What's it like being married to me?
                   What's it like hearing the words I say?
 
     ...if your goal is to get your husband more involved at home, then make home a place he can't wait to return to."
